Does anyone know a forum where there are alot of users talking about Sony products? I really need to solve this but I don't seem to find big forums with good chances to get my problem solved. I'm quiet sure the problem is situated within the A1000...as it doesn't work either on my brothers pc...It doesn't recognise the device.. Neither does it show the player in the CONNECT software. I'm really disapointed. I never believed people on the internet and in the press when they said the software was crap and that I had to stay away from it..I'm starting to believe that I made a mistake buying this player. If anyone can help me, please reply.

I can easily add an external harddrive to my pc. The strange thing is, I tried changing ports, and with one of them I got the error that The usb device is not recognised etc. But now in Windows Explorer there's a Removable Disk (H:) with a folder called OMGAUDIO and there you can find three folders (10F00, A_WM and CONNECT, also a buch of other files in there) It's really strange. If my PC doesnt recognise the A1000, what can I do about it? UPDATE: I'm trying to reïnstall the software now. Don't know if it will help but I'll try it anyway. If anyone knows what to do please help me if you got some time. Any tips are welcome

Hey, Yes, I've tried all my usb ports and it doesn't change anything to the problem. I don't know what I can do. Maybe a reïnstall of the software would help? Is it normal that the A1000 keeps saying Connecting - Do not disconnect? I really would like to be able to get my music on the player through CONNECT, because I wan't the special features like artist link etc, thats also why I bought it. I've tried more than 30 times now, and it doesn't work. Does anyone know if it's normal that on the right side of the screen in CONNECT, the A1000 (under Library etc) is written in light gray? When I click on it I see alot of albums and songs with the text 'Ready To Export'... In CONNECT it says Reading Data 0 % and it changes to Do not Disconnect every ten seconds or so. I don't know if it would be usefull to try to install everything on my brothers pc? I never had problems with usb ports or software before. Does anyone know some forum for this player of serie? Maybe theres a sony forum where people have asked these questions before? Coz I didn't find any and all the FAQ didn't resolve the problem. Kind regards, Sammy UPDATE: When I go to Preferences in Connect ---> Advanced it says Device not connected while it is connected..Could it be a problem with the usb ports? If so, is there any way to solve it? Some settings that I can change or some patch or anything?

Hello, First of all, hello all ! I'm new to this forum and unfortunately I've got a problem. I've always been a Sony fan, and still decided to buy an A1000 even though I read alot of complaints about software etc...but it seems that I already got a problem... I got a Sony A1000 straight from the box. I installed the CONNECT Player software. I connect the A1000 with my pc using the USB-cable provided in the box. I then imported music into the Connect Library. But there it goes wrong.... I select songs and click on 'Transfer to a Device'... then I see the text 'Ready To Transfer'... but I can't get the files on my A1000 ! I've tried for hours now and I'm getting desperate... What happens is: The A1000 (connected with my pc through the usb-cable) says Connection Do not disconnect.... But it stays like that. The songs never arrive at the player..so I can only listen to some free songs that were on the player (standard). I can't listen to my Guns N' Roses music etc. Nothing. The CONNECT software says 'Reading Data 0%' and sometimes it says Updating Artist link or something... Can anyone help me to get it working? I'm really desperate now... I wanted this player so badly because it looks so stylish...I kind of 'ignored' the negative comments on the internet about the software, but I'm getting more and more disapointed just because of the fact that I can't get songs on it.. If I read all the users on this forums talking about EQ's, other options, little details etc... I'm kind of jealous because I can't even listen to my music I really hope someone could help me out. I just got my player today so On monday at 3 am I'm taking of for a schooltrip to Berlin...so if this isn't solved I won't be able to really relax over there I bought it to be able to listen to music when I travel If anyone can help, please reply or contact me. Kind regards, Sammy
